This document discusses different types of job transfers. It defines a job transfer as a lateral movement within the same pay and status. There are two main types of transfers: company-initiated and employee-initiated. Company-initiated transfers include production transfers, replacement transfers, versatility transfers, shift transfers, remedial transfers, and penal transfers. Employee-initiated transfers are also called personnel transfers and can occur for reasons like changing bosses or locations. The document also lists reasons why employees may resist company-initiated transfers, such as suspicion of victimization or an unwillingness to leave social groups.
